Recently, Professor Vicente Molina, Principal Investigator of our SUCEDE group, took part in a fantastic interview and conversation on the Psiquiatras CON ciencia podcast.
The introduction, led by host José María Pelayo, took us back to the origins of the Electroencephalogram (EEG), a crucial technique in our work. He reminded us of the fascinating history of its creation in 1924 by someone who, curiously, was trying to find the substrate of telepathy!
The central focus of the interview shifted to the questions from the other participants, which Prof. Molina answered by detailing the cutting-edge research and methods we use here at SUCEDE. He explained how modern EEG goes far beyond basic waves, allowing us to measure complex concepts like entropy. This approach enables us to quantify the complexity and disorder in cerebral activity, which is essential to our work.
This conversation illustrates how we leverage this powerful tool to investigate the cerebral substrates of psychosis and gain a deeper, quantifiable understanding of human mind function.
